Rifle Bill is BACK!!!!!

[Lawdwaz]

Well, let's see if they can get this thing approved and passed this year.  Boy would I love to hunt with a rifle this fall in Ontario and Wyoming Counties.

[Lawdwaz]

Sell it to the flinger! :-*

Interestingly, I do not hear anyone complaining that the introduction of rifles will ruin the tradition of hunting with a S/G.

Hunted in a rifle area for a couple years now. Just lets me use both and adds a little variety to the seasons makes is more interesting deciding what i am heading out with in the morning

Here in Ontario County, I will believe the rifle bill when it gets passed. I have never seen anything get so screwed up so many times, and in so many different ways. Is this the time that they finally get it done? ..... we'll see. :

[WNYBuckHunter]

Hunt Livingston, Wayne, Erie, Niagara? ??? ?? ;D

Yeah I hunt Livingston and Monroe counties as well. I wont be getting rid of it.

[WNYBuckHunter]

I hope so Doc, it will be nice to step out of my back door with my 30-30 in hand.

I don't have a good deer rifle yet and probably will not get one until I actually  hear that the Governor has signed the bill. This bill has been such a fiasco and has been a "done deal" so many times and yet here we are still talking about how it might actually get the final vote and signature.

I'm not sure what caliber I will be getting if or when this thing finally gets actually signed. I was thinking .243 but now am leaning toward a .270 .

Love my 30-30.....but....if I only had that and theat new SG you just got....I would probably take the SG to the field most days

[Culvercreek hunt club]

Or lease land is split by Broome and Tioga county. Tioga is rifle...Broome is SG. I believe because of Binghamton. That one is like one of the few southern tier counties left as SG. Would like to see that one go rifle as well but have not heard any grumblings of it. Anyone hear anything about Livingston up to 20A again?

use it to make a lamp lol

[WNYBuckHunter]

That would be a pricey lamp!  ;D

[Lawdwaz]

I'd gladly make a gun rack out of my DS II for the use of a rifle. ;D

[Single_shot]

Geepers....I can't imagine having to use a SG only for deer. Not putting it down in any way ,shape or form now. Just saying,seems it would make the cheese more binding ,in a way. To me personally,it's the same as ML.....only you(ML) can't(re-) load as fast. LOL Seems like a good challenge.

[erussell]

I don't see binghamton area going to rifle, you can throw a stone and hit a house in just about any direction in most of Broome County. But since it is 99% private land, maybe most people would be reluctant to shoot thier own house or thier neighbors. 

[growalot]

never one to fear being tromped on....good for all that get it listed ....but I will fight to the end to keep them out of Livingston....and I enjoy using my Remington down at camp...but still use the shotgun more....Livingston county is just too crowded now ...and this is where I live

[Culvercreek hunt club]

there are a lot of counties in the state that they have instituted it that are a lot more developed than Livingston.

[Lawdwaz]

Not looking so good...........

I must admit when I first read the title of this thread I thought it was about someone's nickname.

I think it should be about choice, I mean you can't use a firearm within such proximity to a dwelling anyway. Good luck, keep your finger crossed but remember this is the land of potato head liberal politicians.
